Joan E. Childs, LCSW

"Joan has been a long term friend and colleague who remains my go to recommendation for psychotherapy. She is up to the minute in utilizing cutting-edge techniques to achieve mastery with individuals, couples, families and groups."

"Joan is one of the most gifted and effective therapists I’ve been fortunate to have known. I worked with her over a number of years, in individual and group settings, and she introduced me to techniques and insights that helped me to move forward in various parts of my life. With her extensive experience and skills, she tailors the methods best suited to help each client. She creates a professional and structured setting that is also warm and empathetic, allowing clients to feel safe while doing deep work. I highly recommend her as an effective and supportive therapist, counselor, or coach; whether in personal, couples or group settings."

"I traveled to Florida from Texas to have Joan work with me on some abuse issues I was healing from. I signed up for a 5 day intensive. When I showed up and we met, I knew at that moment that I was going to be ok. Joan proceeded to work with me on so many different levels with such compassion, love and understanding. She is fantastic and truly cares about her clients. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is hurting. You won't find a better therapist."

"I have known Joan for many years. I have watched her develop her many talents and am proud to know her. While always practicing as a therapist she developed other talents as an author, public speaker, and teacher and other talents. There are many, many lives she has touched and will continue to affect as time goes on.In my opinion she is a living legend."

"My time with Joan was transformative. I came to her for anxiety and depression found her to be clinically strong, yet supportive. I engaged in individual and group therapy over several years and began working on cognitive distortions and examined how my own choices and thinking created most of the difficulties in my life. I did parts work, hypnotherapy, and even a week long intensive with Joan. I would highly recommend her as a counselor, coach, trainer, or inspirational speaker."
